But in the back area of Reno's East Side Sportsbar & Grill, 1310 Abbott Road, members of the MSU hockey team and their families waited anxiously to hear the Spartans' NCAA Tournament fate. Toward the end of the half-hour selection show, MSU finally was announced, prompting the fight song to break out - with "ball" replaced by "hockey." No.
Seattle - Paul Davis couldn't watch. He sat on the bench with his head down, picking at a towel as Nevada's Todd Okeson hit the free throws that put a fork in his sophomore season. For the second time in the last four games, Davis sat helpless as his team's offense crumbled without him.
It was just like a real basketball game. Except, Breslin Center wasn't filled. There were no crazy hats, no face paint, no Izzone.
"Sports Night" is one of my favorite shows. A lot of people don't really remember it at all, and the rest don't remember much about it.
Detroit - The Spartans knew they couldn't keep digging themselves into a hole early in games because sooner or later they wouldn't be able to crawl out of it.

Northern Michigan always seems to get in the way of the MSU hockey team's quest for a CCHA championship. This year is no exception. The No.
Masters student Matthew Wood completed his undergraduate studies at Nevada and never saw the Wolf Pack make it to the NCAA Basketball Tournament - until now. He sat anxiously watching the CBS Selection Sunday breakdown, happily knowing that both of his universities would be in the Big Dance. "I finally had two teams I could root for," Wood said.
Seattle - Heading into the NCAA Tournament, the Spartans know they could win the whole thing. They also know they could be knocked out in the first round against Nevada on Thursday night. In MSU's seventh straight NCAA Tournament appearance, the No.

With March Madness in full swing, college hoops fans are getting more passionate and emotional than actors in a Spanish soap opera. There are plenty of reasons to get fired up about college basketball.
Indianapolis - Like many Spartans on spring break, Bernie Brown went south with his friends. But unlike most snow birds, the mechanical engineering junior's road trip ended at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Brown stood topless in the stands at the 2004 Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament, sporting body paint in the form of a Paul Davis jersey, with an eclectic group of friends. Enter MSU hospitality business junior Brad Barenie, a self-proclaimed "die-hard Indiana fan", who painted on his Hoosiers jersey, and friend Tim Dupuis, modeling - you guessed it - a maize and blue uniform for the event. Brown and Dupuis, who have been friends since high school, paid $225 each for all-sessions tickets to watch the conference battles, money Barenie said was well-spent.
